Chapter 103: Defending the country and defending the people (seventh update)
"Thank you for covering me up in front of my parents this afternoon. I'm sorry for your scar. It was my mistake."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "The matter is over. You don't care whether I accept your apology or not. Go back and have a good meal with your friends. Just pretend that we have never met."
At this time, a female soldier who followed over said in a sweet voice, "Hey, Platoon Commander Li, where are the heroes on the battlefield who still care about such a small scar? There are so many soldiers with missing arms and legs in the field hospital. What do you think?"
What? Besides, what’s wrong with a man having a scar? That’s a man’s medal.”
Li Xuewu said this to her comrades in the hospital, and immediately responded, "Doctor Tong, right? I was not clear-headed at the time. My comrades said that I was moving around in pain. You gave me anesthesia but it didn't work. In the end, I advocated direct
Among those who were sutured, you were included, right? I want to ask why the anesthetic didn’t work?”
When Dr. Tong said this, he suppressed his blush, but Gu Ning's face turned pale.
Li Xuewu was too lazy to settle the score with them anymore and said, "I'll just assume that you don't dare to take anesthesia for fear of hurting my nerves."
"We all came down from that place. The trouble in my heart has passed. I don't want to bring up this topic anymore. And you said that scars are men's medals, but which man do you see who is willing to wear the medal on his face?
"
Gu Ning felt a little guilty. At that time, her group of medical students were dragged to the front line just after graduation.
The teacher said that the front line is the best place to hone medical skills and courage, so this group of people went to the front line to assist military doctors in doing some basic medical treatment, including suturing.
When you study in medical school, you mostly practice your techniques on cadavers, but one of the hurdles you must pass when studying medicine is to perform surgery and needles on real people.
One is to hone courage and overcome human fear, and the other is to hone skills. You can encounter any surgical cases in the field hospital.
My classmates all found opportunities to practice, and the teacher also passed the assessment, but those who ran around by themselves always missed the sutures of the injured.
Finally caught
No one was willing to let go. The field hospital was in a hurry, so Gu Ning grabbed Li Xuewu. It was the first time he had sutured a living patient, and he was still a patient with facial trauma and moving around.
At that time, Tong Yan gave Li Xuewu an injection, but he got the wrong medicine. It was not an anesthetic. Tong Yan was afraid of taking responsibility, so he told Li Xuewu that he was taking anti-anesthetic medicine. He was afraid that something might happen and he couldn't take any more injections. He persuaded Gu Ning to press Li Xuewu's hand.
Start sewing directly.
It was his first time to perform hand suture surgery and he encountered such a difficult patient. You can imagine how much ability the nervous Gu Ning can exert.
In addition, Li Xuewu was unconscious, and Gu Ning was also scratched by Li Xuewu's flailing arm. In the end, the comrades who sent Li Xuewu held down Li Xuewu forcefully, and Gu Ning was sutured.
Looking at Li Xuewu's unwilling eyes, he must be very concerned about his own face, but this afternoon Li Xuewu calmly dealt with the matter in front of his parents, and finally settled it with himself.
Especially through her mother's questions, Gu Ning got to know the other side of Li Xuewu, and she felt very guilty. Otherwise, Gu Ning's character would not apologize to others.
Gu Ning checked Li Xuewu's ID. His face would have looked very good without this scar. Now it's like porcelain that has cracks and has been repaired, but it's not as bad as the foundation.
Gu Ning nodded and said, "I can only say sorry. You can ask for any compensation you want. I will try my best to satisfy you."
Li Xuewu looked into Gu Ning's eyes and said, "Since you and I are not meant to be together in this life, then let's help each other."
After hearing this, Gu Ning nodded and turned around, leading her colleagues around her back.
After returning to his seat and sitting down, he didn't look at Li Xuewu anymore. He just kept talking to the young man wearing a cadre uniform next to him without saying a word. He didn't seem close or distant.
You pretend not to understand, and I pretend to be relaxed. If you miss it, you will miss it. People must have some character.
The female military doctor who just interrupted said "hum" and pouted, "Why are you so pretentious? Didn't you just go to the front line? I won't let you talk about it."
At this time, the young man who was talking to Gu Ning asked, "Who is that? Why are you more arrogant than me? I'll go and see you."
As he said that, he stood up and looked for trouble.
Gu Ning grabbed the young man and said, "Weiguo, don't mess with him. It's none of your business. Your brother is coming today."
The young man looked at Li Xuewu's physique and the scar on his face. He sat down and muttered, "I listen to you, but don't scare me with my brother.
I’m not a child anymore, let’s talk about my brother.”
Before I could finish saying this, another person came through the door.
Wearing national defense green, a military coat, and cadre leather boots, he took off his hat, revealing a handsome face.
With thick eyebrows, big eyes, a broad face, and a high nose bridge, he looks very noble.
Seeing this man come in, the people at the table all stood up and greeted him politely.
"Brother Weimin is late. Sister Xiao Ning is waiting in a hurry."
The young man who entered the room first and made a fuss took advantage of the good atmosphere at the dinner table and coaxed the people who came in.
The man named Wei Min is only twenty-six or seventeen years old. He is more mature than the others at the table and speaks very seasonedly.
"Brothers and sisters, I have troubled you by waiting for a long time. I just sent the leader home and was delayed due to something. Thank you for coming to pick me up."
"Brother Weimin, you're welcome. We all grew up together. We haven't seen each other for three or four years. That's right."
"That's right, that's right"
Wei Min helped everyone sit down, and he sat in the seat given by his younger brother, sitting next to Gu Ning.
Seeing that Gu Ning's face was a little cold because of what he had just said to the man, Wei Min spoke.
Say hello quietly.
"I haven't seen you for three years. How are you? Are you anxious?"
Gu Ning forced a smile and said, "It's good. We've just arrived. If there's nothing wrong, let's just make fun of him."
Gu Ning, who looked distant and polite, was still as before, neither far nor near to anyone, even though he was the soul of the younger generation in the hospital at that time.
When I was young, I liked to play around, but now that I think about it, it’s better to be more steady and conservative, even if it’s a little colder.
Back then, Gu Ning also admired him, but he
Over the past three years, I have written countless letters to Gu Ning, but I have not received any replies.
I must seize the opportunity when I come back this time.
Weimin smiled and said, "That's good."
After Wei Min finished speaking, he started ordering food and serving wine, and the atmosphere at the table suddenly became lively.
Li Xuewu only stared there for a moment and then stopped looking. Instead, he talked with Lin Tingting about interesting things in the past.
Sometimes a joke made Lin Tingting cover her mouth and laugh until she slapped Li Xuewu with her hand.
Since Li Xuewu had this face, he rarely had contact with girls. He felt a little inferior about himself, but when he saw that Lin Tingting didn't care about his face, he let it go.
While joking, he took the opportunity to shake Lin Tingting's hand, which made Lin Tingting roll her eyes, but there was no big reaction.
I know your thoughts
Li Xuewu's monkey-climbing skills are top-notch. Although he didn't say any words of confession, he also set the tone of the first date.
After all, if there's a first time, there's a second time.
Li Xuewu looked at Lin Tingting, raised a drink cup and clinked glasses with Lin Tingting and said, "Today is our first official date. I wish us luck from the sky, sudden surprises, miracles, and all the hard work in the future."
